Sir Jony Ive, SVP-ul Apple care conduce divizia ce concepe design-ul viitoarelor produse Apple, a conceput recent o pereche de EarPods din aur de 18 karate, ele urmand a fi licitate in cadrul unui eveniment organizat de catre Sotheby’s. Licitatia este organizata pentru o fundatie de caritate creata de catre celebrul artist Bono, iar pe lista de produse se afla si alte cateva creatii interesante. Jony Ive si Marc Newson au conceput modificarile acestor produse, par in afara EarPod-urilor exista o camera digitala Leica, un birou din aluminiu, un pian si un Range Rover 2012.
Leading the auction are the two items designed in their entirety by Jony and Marc – a unique Leica Digital Rangefinder Camera, which is, in and of itself, a feat of extraordinary engineering, and a unique aluminum desk produced by Neal Feay Studios. Joining these editions labeled 01/01 and specifically produced for the (RED) Auction are: a Steinway & Sons Parlor Grand Piano and a 2012 Range Rover, both customized by Jony and Marc; a unique version of Hermès’ iconic Cavale saddle created in red leather with custom red stitching; a one- of-a-kind pair of classic Apple EarPods in solid rose gold; a Russian cosmonaut suit; a pair of Damien Hirst ‘Spin Chairs’ designed by Jasper Morrison; a custom Jaeger-LeCoultre Atmos “561” Clock with unique red accents created for the auction; and a Dom Pérignon Œnothèque s 1966 Magnum with custom red foil label, red ice bucket cooler and limited edition protective case.
Licitatia urmeaza sa fie organizata pe data de 23 noiembrie si ea nu este prima in cadrul careia Jony Ive contribuie cu produse ce au un design special.
